      Hi there! They are rolling out to everyone soon and are available for Beta users. To join the Beta channel to get the checkboxes, go to File, Account, sign up for the Microsoft 365 insider program, and then switch to the Beta channel.

      Hi there,
      You can replace checkboxes with “x” and adjust the formula accordingly. For progress bars, use: =REPT("|",COUNTIF(C4:G4, "x")). You can scale the number times argument, for example: =REPT("|",COUNTIF(C4:G4, "x")*5). Apply this to the remaining columns.
      For percentages, use: =COUNTIF(C4:G4, "x")/COUNTA("x"). If there are multiple columns, divide 100 by the number of columns. For instance, with 6 columns, the formula would be: =COUNTIF(C4:H4, "x")/COUNTA("x")*0.166. This is based on the calculation: 100/6=16.66.
      I hope this helps!
